he didn't use the moleskin and i knew this ahead of time and yes i ordered a roll from that site, killer deal, and from the write up looks like a simple project to protect the new tint, its 1:38am and i just got home but earlier today i did actually notice the ripples didn't appear to be as bad but i'll give it a few more days and if its not acceptable then i'll have the tint guy give it a look over, he's a good guy so i dont think it'll be a prolonged issue

I just had mine tinted yesterday. There were lots of bubbles. They told me they would go away w/i a few days - but that it could take up to 2 weeks. If they were still there after that - they'd fix it under warranty.

By this morning 95%+ of the bubbles are gone.

I was also told to wait 2 days to lower the windows. And, to wait 2 weeks before cleaning the inside glass

The best moleskin to prevent tint scratching is Tint Protector. com. The cheap stuff doesn't stick and falls off. Not worth it.

Just wanted to make a note that rather this buy had a REALLY bad exerience with the generic moleskin or he works for tintprotector.com. Just wanted to point out that he only has 11 posts and they are all saying the same thing, that the generic is bad and tintprotectors is awsome.
